An effective method is proposed in this paper for calculating the transient magnetic field and induced voltage in the photovoltaic bracket system under lightning stroke. Considering the need for the lightning current responses on various branches of the photovoltaic bracket system, a brief outline is given to the equivalent circuit model of the photovoltaic bracket system. The analytic formulas of the transient magnetic field are derived from the vector potential for the tilted, vertical and horizontal branches in the photovoltaic bracket system. With a time–space discretization scheme put forward for theses formulas, the magnetic field distribution in an assigned spatial domain is determined on the basis of the lightning current responses. The magnetic linkage passing through a conductor loop is evaluated by the surface integral of the magnetic flux density and the induced voltage is obtained from the time derivative of the magnetic linkage. In order to check the validity of the proposed method, an experiment is made on a reduced-scale photovoltaic bracket system. Then, the proposed method is applied to an actual photovoltaic bracket system. The calculations are performed for the magnetic field distributions and induced voltages under positive and negative lightning strokes.

In the linear and planar motors, the 1D Halbach magnet array is extensively used. The sinusoidal property of the magnetic field deteriorates by analyzing the magnetic field at a small air gap. Therefore, a new 1D Halbach magnet array is proposed, in which the permanent magnet with a curved surface is applied. Based on the superposition of principle and Fourier series, the magnetic flux density distribution is derived. The optimized curved surface is obtained and fitted by a polynomial. The sinusoidal magnetic field is verified by comparing it with the magnetic flux density of the finite element model. Through the analysis of different dimensions of the permanent magnet array, the optimization result has good applicability. The force ripple can be significantly reduced by the new magnet array. The effect on the mass and air gap is investigated compared with a conventional magnet array with rectangular permanent magnets. In conclusion, the new magnet array design has the scalability to be extended to various sizes of motor and is especially suitable for small air gap applications.

In this paper, the analysis of magnetic field distribution of overhead mixed power line (20 kV/0.4 kV) supported by reinforced concrete towers, named MNL-12 is presented. The impact of ferromagnetic, conductive parts of the pylons (reinforcing bars, billets and cross arm beams) on magnetic field distribution is investigated. The numerical calculations were performed in COMSOL Multiphysics program package on simplified 2D model. The main goal of the calculations was to examine the impact of currents induced in ferromagnetic conductive parts on magnetic field produced by currents in the power system’s conductors. The calculation results are presented graphically, as the diagrams of the magnetic flux density magnitude distribution in the tower plan, normal to the system’s axe. The calculation results demonstrated that the magnetic field of induced currents decreases the magnetic field produced by the currents of overhead power system.

The traditional magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) process, the magnetic flux density at the bottom of the magnetic pole is unevenly distributed, resulting in poor uniformity of the finished surface. Therefore, it is proposed to improve the surface quality by attaching a magnetic plate at the bottom of the workpiece to improve the magnetic field distribution. It is confirmed by simulation that the magnetic field distribution at the bottom of the magnetic pole is effectively improved after the magnetic plate is attached. It is proved through experiments that the magnetic plate-assisted MAF process can obtain a smoother surface. The experimental results show that the surface roughness of the glass lens improves from 246 nm Ra to 3 nm Ra through the magnetic plate-assisted MAF process within 45min.

Abstract In this paper we proposed a platform for measuring shear force of magnetorheological (MR) fluid by which the relationship of yield stress and magnetic flux density of specific material can be determined. The device consisted of a rotatable center tube in a frame body and the magnetic field was provided by two blocks of permanent magnets placed oppositely outside the frame body. The magnitude and direction of the magnetic field were manipulated by changing the distance of the two permanent magnets from the frame body and rotating the center tube, respectively. For determining the magnetic field of the device, we adopted an effective method by fitting the FEM (finite element method) result to the measured one and then rebuilt the absent components to approximate the magnetic field, which was hardly to be measured simultaneously as different device setup were required. With the proposed platform and analytical methods, the drawing shear force and the corresponding yield stress contributed by MR fluid could be evaluated in respect to the magnitude and direction of given magnetic flux density with acceptable accuracy for specific designing purposes without a large, complex, and expensive instrument.

As a type of solid state switch, MR (magnetoresistive) sensor detects the air cylinder piston’s position in pneumatic control system. The construction and working principle of the air cylinder with MR sensor are introduced. Using 2-D magnetic field finite element analysis (FEA) method, the magnetic field distribution of air cylinder with piston motion is analyzed. Simulation results are given. The magnetic flux density characteristics are compared between piston wear or not.


The Earth’s magnetic field has been undergoing a remarkably systematic variation during the last 30 years. This variation can be described by a constant time derivative and a step-function second derivative. These parameters are smoothly distributed over the Earth’s surface. The step occurred in 1969 and caused the second derivative to change signs for all of the components at most of the magnetic observatories. Similar but less well documented behavior had been observed around 1900; it seemed to correlate with a jump in the acceleration of the Earth’s rotation. We have investigated the motions at the top of the Earth’s core that are responsible for the recent magnetic variations by inversion procedures. The motions responsible for the time derivative of the magnetic field can be reasonably well assessed and are dominated by a westward drift term of approximately 0.2°/year, although important poloidal motions are also inferred. The data for the jump in the second derivative are much noisier and the motion accelerations are not as well resolved. The poloidal acceleration terms are still fairly well resolved, but the toroidal motions, especially the zonal motions, are very poorly resolved. No firm conclusion about an acceleration of the westward drift can be given on the basis of this analysis. The inversions give evidence that the motions for the lower modes are a strongly decreasing function of their order.

This paper presents a mathematical modeling of a modified voice coil generator, which consists of a moving coil within a fixed magnetic circuit. The simulation has been done with Comsol Multiphysics software, which is a powerful tool to demonstrate the pattern of magnetic field and calculate the induced current in the coil. In our simulations, the magnetic circuit consists of the magnetic conductor and the air gap. In this analysis, the magnetic flux density and the magnetic field intensity are calculated. Moreover, through calculation of the total reluctance of the magnetic circuit and employing the ohm’s law for magnetic circuits, the effect of the length and cross section of the total circuit on the magnetic flux are investigated. Finally, a pattern for the magnetic flux density are demonstrated and the simulation result indicates that the magnetic field is well concentrated on the coil area, therefore this prototype can capture and convert most of the kinetic energy to electricity. A prototype has been fabricated and tested on the shaker. The experimental results indicate that this setup is able to produce the maximum voltage of 0.326 V and the peak power equal to 2.605 mW in 35 Hz frequency and 1 mm peak to peak amplitude.

There has been apprehension about the possible adverse health effects resulting from exposure to power frequency magnetic field, especially in the overhead power lines vicinity. Research work on the biological effects of magnetic field has been substantial in recent decades. Various international regulations and safety guidelines, aimed at the protection of human beings, have been issued. Numerous measurements are performed and different numerical algorithms for computation of the magnetic field, based on the Biot- Savart law, are developed. In this paper, a previously developed 3D quasistatic numerical algorithm for computation of the magnetic field (i.e. magnetic flux density) produced by overhead power lines has been improved in such a way that cylindrical segments of passive conductors are also taken into account. These segments of passive conductors form the conductive passive contours, which can be natural or equivalent, and they substitute conductive passive parts of the overhead power lines and towers. Although, their influence on the magnetic flux density distribution and on the total effective values of magnetic flux density is small, it is quantified in a numerical example, based on a theoretical background that was developed and presented in this paper.

Conductive polymer composite material is increasingly applied in a variety of fields, and its related processing technology has been a focus of research and development. Regarding magnetic fiber, because the orientation and distribution of the fiber affect the electrical and mechanical properties of products, the control of fiber orientation and distribution has been regarded as a key technology. This study used magnetic-assisted injection molding to control the orientation of magnetic fibers during the melt-polymer filling process. A special mold containing a magnetic apparatus was simulated and designed. Its material and thickness of various spacing blocks as well as the optimal layout of magnets in the mold were determined. An actual mold with the same magnet layout was then manufactured accordingly, and the measured magnetic flux density was compared with simulated results. This study also examined the coupled effect of magnetic and flow fields on the orientation of nickel-coated carbon fibers, calculating the magnetic moment produced due to the influence of the magnetic field on the fibers when melt polymer flowed through various positions in the cavity during the filling process. The flow trajectories of the fibers, which were affected by the magnetic field, were also predicted.
